Cellular Redox Dynamics are regulated by feedback pathways that maintain the level of H 2 O 2 below the toxic threshold. The glutathione peroxidase (GPx) family of isozymes play key roles in protecting the cells from oxidative damage by using glutathione (GSH) as a cofactor. In their Communication on page 4510 ff., G. Mugesh and co‐workers coins the term “nanoisozymes” to describe how the different exposed crystal facets on V 2 O 5 surfaces in the same crystal system mimic the redox regulation of the enzyme.
